National Briefing | South: Florida: Senate Rejects Class-Size Measure
Published: May 6, 2005
The State Senate rejected a proposal by Gov. Jeb Bush that would have asked voters to scale back a constitutional requirement limiting the number of students in public school classrooms. To reach the ballot, the measure needed 24 votes in the 40-member Senate but received only 19 votes. Voters had put the class-size restrictions into the State Constitution three years ago.
